新規加入s to your 税金 code
These may be expenses you 背負い込む as part of your 職業 but your 雇用者 doesn't reimburse.
They could 含む 商売/仕事 travel, uniform costs, or 私的な 年金 出資/貢献s you 支払う/賃金 but do not receive 十分な 税金 救済 on, or other expenses incurred wholly, 排他的に and やむを得ず in the course of your 義務s.
Subtractions to your 税金 code
These could 含む 利益s you enjoy from your 雇用者, like car 利益s and 私的な health, or 税金 you 借りがある from an earlier 税金 year, or 明言する/公表する 利益s.
The 明言する/公表する 年金 落ちるs into the latter 部類. It will be deducted from your code as it is taxable income, but not 税金d at source.?
What might your 税金 code notice look like?
The coding notice will show the income source to which the code relates, and the payer of the income, such as the 雇用者's 指名する in the example below.
£? | |
---|---|
Personal Allowance | 12,570 |
新規加入s: 職業 expenses? | 200? |
Deductions Health 保険? | 500 |
税金 解放する/自由な 量? | 12,270? |
ABC Ltd: £12,270 is 税金 解放する/自由な? | 税金 Code 1227 (followed by a letter).? |
The ありふれた letters that appear after the 税金 code and what they mean are explained below. If you have more than one 職業 or a 職業 and a 私的な 年金, you will have a 税金 code for each.
The allowance to which you are する権利を与えるd will be 適用するd to the largest source first.?
So what do the letters after the 税金 code mean?
L ? You are する権利を与えるd to the 基準 personal allowance
T ? The 税金 code 含むs other 計算/見積りs to work out your personal allowance
M ? You've received a 移転 of 10 per cent of your partner's personal allowance
N ? You've made a 移転 to your partner of 10 per cent of your personal allowance

Decoding your 税金 code: Where to find it, what to check, and how to challenge errors
This means you could be over or undertaxed if your income changes each month or you started a new 職業 part way through the 税金 year.
OT ? Your personal allowance has been used up どこかよそで against another source of income. It can also mean that your new 雇用者 doesn't have enough (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) to work out an 緊急 税金 code.
NT ? You are not 支払う/賃金ing any 税金 on this source of income.
BR ? You are 支払う/賃金ing 税金 at the basic 率 (20 per cent) on this source of income. This is often the code for one of your 雇用s if you have more than one 職業.
DO ? You are 支払う/賃金ing the higher 率 税金 (40 per cent) on this source of income.

S ? Your income or 年金 is 存在 税金 at the Scottish 税金 率s.
What about the 'K' code?
This means the deductions from your personal allowance are more than the personal allowance itself. See the example below.?
? | £? |
---|---|
Personal Allowance | 12,570 |
Deductions: 明言する/公表する 年金? | 9,339? |
Other untaxed income? | 3,500? |
税金 解放する/自由な 量? | 269? |
税金 code 26K? | ? |
In this シナリオ, £269 will be 追加するd to your 収入s over the course of the 税金 year to collect the 不足(高) in 税金 from the other income.
Your 雇用者 cannot take more than half your untaxed income when operating a K code.
If you are unlucky enough to 借りがある more than 50 per cent of your income in 税金, then any 税金 not collected is carried 今後 and would just be collected through your 税金 code until it's paid.
However, if the 未払いの 税金 越えるs the £3,000 税金 code collection 限界, then it cannot be collected through your code and would need to be paid to HMRC.
If you have difficulty 支払う/賃金ing your 税金, then 接触する HMRC. Call 0300 200 3820 or check HMRC's 支払い(額) problems webpage here.
